383 East 152nd Street, Bronx, NY 10455

The two-family house at 383 East 152nd Street in Melrose, owned by Tae Hong and constructed in 2001, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in 2025, there were two significant complaints: one regarding heating issues in the entire building in April, and another concerning mold in February, both of which were closed without resolution due to lack of access for inspections.

The building has a documented pattern of heating problems, with five separate heat/hot water-related complaints between 2018 and 2025, including two in 2024 that were partially addressed and corrected in specific apartments. Additionally, there were multiple issues reported in 2021 concerning paint/plaster problems and refrigerator concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation in these cases.

The property experienced a structural concern in July 2024, when a complaint about building shaking or vibrating was filed, though inspectors again reported inability to gain access for verification. Historical data from 2018 shows several maintenance issues clustered around heating systems, paint/plaster work, and appliance concerns, all of which remained inadequately addressed due to access issues. The recurring nature of heating complaints, particularly in a two-family building, and the recent mold issue suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted despite multiple complaint filings over several years.
